Nucleotides are a type of molecule composed by a nitrogenated base (iether purine or pyrimidin) bounded to a pentose (either ribose or deoxyribose) which is bounded to a chain of 1 to 3 inorganic phosphates (mono, di and triphosphates).
They are different from nucleosides in the pressence of phosphate, nucleosides lack phosphates, nucleotides posses phosphates.

What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What is the monomer for the DNA polymer called?
nucleotides
What are the monomers of DNA made of?
its made up of nucleotides
How many nucleotides make up RNA?
Four Nucleotides
What foods do not contain macromolecules?
of the choices: proteins starches nucleotides lipids nucleotides are not macromolecules
How do nucleotides differ from one another?
no
Purine nucleotides mainly differ from pyrimidine nucleotides in their number of?
Nitrogen rings in the base
How do nucleotides cause living things to differ from on another?
the reason is that each living thing has a different order of nucleotides in its DNA
What is a subunit of a nucleic acid?
The subunit of a nucleic acid are nucleotides.
How mi RNA differ from si RNA?
MicroRNA are usually 22 nucleotides long, and are post-transcriptional regulators. Small interfering RNAs are usually 20-25 nucleotides long, and are mostly involved with the disruption of gene expression. siRNA is also double-stranded.
What makes DNA a polymer?
DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)
DNA is made of repeating units or monomers called?
nucleotides- guanine, adenine, thymine, and cytosine
What is the name of the nucleotides have no DNA and no RNA?
Nucleotides do not have DNA or RNA. DNA and RNA are composed of nucleotides.
What is the one part of the nucleotide that differ among the different nucleotide?
All nucleotides are similar except for the nitrogen bases, which may either be adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil..
What is the monomer for the DNA polymer called?
nucleotides
How does the DNA of humans and the DNA of animals compare?
They have the same nucleotides (A, T, C, G) and structure (double helix and chromosomes), and have a lot of the same genes, but a lot of genes differ, also.
What is the one part of the nucleotide that differ among the other different nucleotide?
All nucleotides are similar except for the nitrogen bases, which may either be adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, or uracil..
